Police struggle to stop flood of firearms into UK

[flechero]

They should pass a law that makes it illegal to supply criminals with guns. And then pass another to make it illegal to use guns in a crime... and while they are at it, they should outlaw crime.

discharges of lethal barrelled firearms rose by 23%. Compared to 2015/16, ?????
So they have non lethal unbarrelled firearms? Inquiring minds want to know?

Well, I read somewhere that they outlawed blank-firing guns (like used for races), so maybe that's a non-lethal barreled firearm, or a lethal, non-barreled firearm?

If a comparatively small island nation cannot control the influx of firearms, what can the lefties hope to achieve here? An otherwise intelligent friend recently commented that, if we banned guns, we'd have many fewer of them and gun crime would decrease. I mentioned the bang-up job we do keeping drugs out, and she shrugged it off.

She's under the mistaken belief that guns deteriorate over time? A maintained firearm will last for forever, properly stored ammunition will still fire a 100yrs from now, people like her believe we will simply turn our guns in, we won't! If she is so worried about people dying she fails to realize that what she is advocating for will spark a war where 100,000 of Americans on both sides will die, then the ultimate question to her would be when did you become so bloodthirsty?
